Software Installation

All eZMP units ship with a default 1 gigabyte compact flash card preloaded with Windows XPe. Depending on your configuration options, it may or may not be necessary for you to install additional software for motion development.

Software on the eZMP

The latest release of Kollmorgen's motion development and diagnostic tools, which include the MPI 03.04.09 C-language motion programming library and the MPX 02.00.01 Visual Basic.NET programming library, come preinstalled on the shipped compact flash.

The eZMP is shipped with all of the necessary software that is required for basic operation. Windows XPe has been preconfigured with network services, eZMP system services, and remote desktop for remote administration. You will not need to install any software for basic operation of the eZMP.

Refer to the eZMP Software Specifications for more information on the software installed on the eZMP compact flash.

Software on the Host System

To begin developing motion applications for use with the eZMP, the host system must be configured with the latest versions of the MPI and MPX, as well as development software.

Please see the MPX Quickstart Guide for instructions on installing Microsoft Visual Basic Express 2005 and installing the MPX .NET motion programming package
